"Not a good business to support"

They have peta disputes against them and several police reports. All the species have entirely way too small of enclosures which are also overcrowded. The animals are all visibly distressed, and improperly cared for. I posted my concerns and tagged the aquarium, they then blocked my instagram account after reading my all the mis treatment I had witnessed.

"Petting zoo—not an aquarium!!!"
TripAdvisor user rating 1.0 out of 5
Reviewed December 31, 2024 NEW
This is not an aquarium—it’s really a petting zoo. We paid for 1 senior and 2 students. Cost was about $23 each. Plus tax. Plus fees. So, more like $85 for 3 people. And that included NO EXPERIENCES. It was $14 for 5 tokens. It was 5 tokens to feed the penguins for 5 minutes. A lot of experiences were 1 or 2 tokens. Small enclosures. Obscene prices. Large play area that is half the building. Only worth it if your child LOVES animals and interacting with them. My husband wished he’d just hung out outside. Waste of our time and money.

"MAB, Mid At Best"
TripAdvisor user rating 3.0 out of 5
Reviewed December 06, 2024
Meh, it wasn’t bad, and it wasn’t great either. There was some cool animal exhibitions like the manta rays, lemurs, and more. We got to visit with a lemur, and one crazy one literally jumped onto my shoulder 🤪🤪🤪! But, the place was very dirty and not well maintained, and it seemed very low quality for the price you pay. The tokens to meet the animals are so flipping expensive, that’s why we only saw one. I went with my uncle and cousins, and they interacted with the octopus there. So, overall it’s mid, go here or don’t, you decide :)

"Aquarium or Zoo?"
TripAdvisor user rating 1.0 out of 5
Reviewed November 19, 2024
It was more petting zoo than aquarium. Almost half of it was an arcade and play area. There were literally two house cats in a cage and more fake alligators than real ones, make that just one real alligator! The four penguins had no water in their enclosure and roughly half of the small aquatic displays were empty.
